Chuck, Regardless of the energy of the magneto coil, the voltage not can exist on the primary side of one of the ignition coils before the corresponding breaker is open.C. Beaty;n1127462 said:Since a flywheel magneto must supply enough energy at cranking speed to produce a spark, perhaps the energy at running speed is so much greater than battery ignition that the flyback pulse can produce arcing at the points.
